3. Use the Softness controls to determine the edge of the border.
4. From the Soften menu, select one of the following:
• Border and Source to soften the inner and outer edges of the border.

Shapes)” on page 349.
Describing the 3D Sphere Shape
The 3D Sphere shape type is different from the Sphere shape in it allows sphere-shaped
objects to work in 3D Containers using Z Space Composite or 3D Model Renderer.
With the 3D Sphere shape, you can adjust the position, scale, size, and pivot point of the
shape. You can crop and mask the sphere, adjust the camera perspective, apply motion blur
and lights, and control the compositing of the sphere with other objects.
Also, you can use the 3D Sphere shape as a 3D Primitive. 3D Sphere correctly displays non-
square pixels, as well as uses the same lighting controls as the 3D Plane shape. For more
information, see “Adding Lighting to 3D Plane Shapes” on page 319.

Some of the 3D Sphere tabs are identical to the corresponding tabs in other shapes. These
tabs are described in “Using Common Shape Parameters” on page 308.
For information on using the Sphere Tab, see “Applying the Sphere Parameters” on
page 338.
